E-Agriculture Framework to Improve Agricultural Productivity: Literature Review ()
ABSTRACT
The agricultural sector is
increasingly becoming knowledge-intensive as farm automation is significantly
improving the productivity of these farms. High-tech developments in agriculture offer vast possibilities for entrepreneurs,
agriculturalists, and investors to ameliorate the productivity and efficiency
of agriculture at a time when several issues, such as drought, emerging
diseases, fertilizer dependency, and global warming, are threatening food
security. While there have been significant innovations and increased adoption
of ICTs in agriculture, it is arguable that this has not been reflected in
agricultural productivity as much. In improving agricultural output, farmers
need access to timely, accurate, relevant, and consumable information in
relation to their farming activities. In this regard, this paper seeks to
identify and demonstrate the role of digital applications in improving
agricultural productivity and output, and to review the E-agriculture
frameworks supporting the design and development of these digital solutions for
improving agricultural productivity.
